Last night she was coughing in a manner my asleep brain read as “gross”, so unconsciously noped the fuck out of there and slept on the sofa. I can’t believe my non-awake brain got it.

She tested positive a few hours ago, so now I just have 7 days to worry. I probably have it, I feel a bit off already.

I know that it’s more than most people, but she was wearing low quality masks, going to a non-safe dentist at peak times, and avoiding the booster. I’ve been nicely pushing her for years, and she brings this shit home. She’s also sorry, and I say it’s fine because I want her to feel better and recover, but secretly I’m fucking raging.

Sorry to rant. Better on Hexbear than out loud.

      If you “rarely wear a mask”, you really shouldn’t be out here whinging. My partner got it from someone like you. Why are you even in this comm??

        This. The liberalism in this thread is astounding. When did hexbear get so OK with willingly being a disease vector and putting high-risk people’s lives at stake just because the status quo says it’s cool now?

        Edit: “So many people think it’s fake or no big deal.” And they’re fucking idiots and/or evil. So therefore it’s ok to behave like them, shrug it off, and contribute to the problem? Fucking disgusting. tropicalislandvisiter, you should be ashamed of yourself. ButtBidet, you absolutely should not. You are 100% correct for being angry at anyone, partner or otherwise, who doesn’t take covid and the very real, severe consequences of getting it and spreading it seriously.

      coward. you are the type of person to nervously look around when smoke enters the room but not leave unless others leave first.
